Borrow the day to change the day

When all the generals heard this, they stood up straight, facing Zhong Jinwei and waiting for the order.

"Where is the Zu Zongbing?"

"The last general is here." Zu Dashou was overjoyed when he heard Zhongxinghou order his general, and he quickly came out of the queue and clasped his fists in response loudly.

Zhong Jinwei looked at him and ordered: "You lead five thousand flintlock soldiers, six thousand Guanning infantry, and five thousand Mongolian troops, and march northward to recover the homeland of Liaodong."

The main force of Jianlu is concentrated in Shenyang and has been wiped out.Although there are still many cities and forts built by captives in the north of Shenyang, there are only some old and weak soldiers who have no resistance.By doing this, Zhong Jinwei just gave Zu Dashou a share of credit, and it was also a kind of balancing act.

Zu Dashou naturally understood that Zhong Jinwei was taking care of him, and also gave him a credit in this battle.

Therefore, even though Zu Dashou was a veteran, he was still very excited and responded loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

After replying, he was about to retreat, but Zhong Jinwei explained to him again: "There are two points you must pay attention to when you go here."

When Zu Dashou heard this, he quickly stood up and said: "Please show me, Lord Hou."

"First, divide up the troops and occupy the Vladivostok area as soon as possible."

Zu Dashou was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't understand how that remote place fell into the eyes of Marquis Zhongxing.However, although he had doubts, he didn't ask, and just answered loudly: "Yes."

"Second, kill as little as possible here. These prisoners are free labor, don't waste it."

Zu Dashou understood this point, and quickly agreed again.

"Vice Chief He!" Zhong Jinwei then ordered again.

When Zu Dashou heard that there was nothing else to do, he withdrew.He Kegang, who was a little behind him, stood up, clasped his fists and replied, "The last general is here."

"You lead an army of [-], and sweep away the remaining Jian prisoners along the Great Wall towards Dalinghe Fort. Remember, less unnecessary killings." Zhong Jinwei ordered.

"Yes, the general will obey." He Kegang was not a person who was easy to kill, so Zhong Jinwei didn't give too much advice.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Zhongxing Hou turned his gaze to him, he knew that he had a task for him.Sure enough, Zhong Jinwei called him next.

"The next official is here." Lu Xiangsheng took a step to the middle of the lobby, clasped his fists and responded to Zhong Jinwei.

"You lead the troops from Shenyang to sweep all the way to the coastline to clear the remaining Jian captives. If there are not enough troops, you can send an order to summon the remaining Denglai troops on the islands."

The reason why Zhong Jinwei said this is because Lu Xiangsheng is in charge of a large area and may not have enough troops; second is to plan for future arrangements; and the third reason is that now that the Liaodong land has been recovered, the island does not need too many troops. of the garrison.

"I will follow orders." Lu Xiangsheng cupped his fists to accept the order.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, Zhong Jinwei didn't mention not to kill at all, because Lu Xiangsheng knew that the vassal king was feudal in North America and needed to build multiple large supply points. For this reason, he also asked the court to come to Busan for Daming to go to North Korea.

After the meeting was disbanded, the Ming army in Shenyang City immediately started to move, and batches of troops marched out from several city gates and went to their respective battlefields.

But because there are still tens of thousands of Jianlu prisoners of war in Shenyang City, and the Jianlu people in the city still need to be cleaned up, and those Han people's coats also need to be dealt with, the task is still quite heavy.Therefore, Zhong Jinwei did not have free time, leaving the most elite Beijing camp as the main force, supplemented by part of the Guanning Army and some Mongolians to complete the work.

It was almost noon that day, and Cao Wenzhao came to see Zhongxing Hou in a hurry with something in his hand.As soon as Zhong Jinwei entered the study where he was working, he reported with a worried face: "Master Hou, the materials stored by Jianlu have been counted."

Zhong Jinwei heard the movement, looked up at Cao Wenzhao's report, and immediately reached out to ask for it.

The reason why he is so concerned is that the smoothness of this battle was unexpected, so that the marching speed was too fast.Supplies, especially grain and grass, are seriously insufficient.Another reason is that there are not so many materials prepared in advance.

Now, with the addition of three groups of people who set out from Shenyang to raid various places, and took away some supplies, the original few supplies became even more tense.Therefore, he is very concerned about the materials seized from Jianlu, especially how much food and grass there will be.

When he heard Cao Wenzhao's words, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that the situation might be bad.

After taking a quick look at it, I found that the seized materials were far more serious than imagined.This amount of food and grass is simply not enough for the Liaodong army, including the prisoners of war, to eat for a long time.

"Why are there so few?" Zhong Jinwei couldn't help asking.

Cao Wenzhao was also a little puzzled. He introduced the situation and said: "The materials in Shenyang City have not been damaged in the previous few days of fighting. Therefore, all the materials for Jianlu should be here. Lord Marquis, can you see if you can build Is that all the captives’ supplies?”

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he fell silent.Although the Jianlu fought and fought among themselves, the food and supplies were what both sides needed, so no one thought about destroying them.

The Ming army entered the city suddenly, and Jianlu didn't even think of destroying supplies.Thinking about it this way, it is certain that Jianlu only has so many supplies.

After Zhong Jinwei thought about it carefully, he understood why there were so few materials for Jianlu.

Because Jianlu was under continuous attack by the Ming army, its food supply had long been beyond its means.Without North Korea to squeeze, and in a disaster year, coupled with the massacre caused by shaving hair and changing clothes, the harvest is not much at all.Therefore, it is no wonder that Jianlu's food is not tight, but he did not expect it to be so little.

Now after this war, spring plowing will definitely be delayed.Then the food for the next year will have nowhere to go.Zhong Jinwei's head hurts thinking about these things.

In addition to large natural disasters, the most serious man-made damage is war.The war in Liaodong inevitably affected production, and Huang Taiji used such damaging tactics as strengthening the wall and clearing the wild.Therefore, it can be said that this Liaodong war has left the entire agricultural production of Liaodong in ruins.

It's really easy to fight, but it's hard to wipe your ass after the battle.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei frowning tightly, Cao Wenzhao knew that he was worried about food.After thinking about it for a while, he approached Zhong Jinwei a few steps, and then suggested: "Master Hou, why don't the old and weak women and children in the city..."

He didn't say anything later, but made a gesture of cutting with his five fingers together into palms.

When Zhong Jinwei saw it, he understood what Cao Wenzhao meant.It is to kill the Jurchens who have low labor force and are not very useful, so that a lot of food can be saved.

Although these Jurchens enjoyed the war dividends of Jianlu in the past, it is estimated that many people also have a lot of Han blood in their hands.In this era, even if he was killed, most people would not care too much.

But Zhong Jinwei is a person educated by later generations, so he can't be so cold-blooded.He shook his head, disagreeing.

When Cao Wenzhao saw that Lord Hou did not agree with his suggestion, he had no choice but to let Lord Hou figure out a solution by himself.
